they say that on the page Clinton says hes wearing 21 this sunday... I've been trying to load it for 15 minutes and have to leave... thought I'd share the info I have so someone else can check into it...

linky linky?

Re: Clinton Portis running Taylor's Myspace?
 

Man, this is awesome and brings up a question. I'm glad I didn't need to start a thread to delve into this for a second.

I was briefly thinking about Hall of Fame inductees and how you rarely see guys from the defensive side of the ball inducted. When you do, they are either lineman or linebackers for the most part. Rarely corner backs and safeties are more rare.

Get where I'm going....who was the last person to play saftey for their entire career inducted into the Hall of Fame? Is it possible, Taylor was the first potential HOF at the safety position we've seen in decades?

Can someone please verify this? Maybe I'm off. And before someone says Ronnie Lott, I believe he started his career as a cornerback and ended it at safety.

Right you are 12th. Very few safeties in the HOF. Looks like only three safeties have been inducted who played within the last 30 years- Paul Krause (1964-1979), Ken Houston (1967-1980), and Ronnie Lott (1981-1994). In fact, there are only 9 total safeties in the hall, and two of those also played some cornerback. Sean could easily have gone down as the best ever. In my eyes he is. Here's the link to HOF inductees:

Re: Clinton Portis running Taylor's Myspace?
 

Yeah I looked for the news of him wearing #21 on Taylor's page a few days ago and i found nothing

Re: Clinton Portis running Taylor's Myspace?
 

i found it its in my bulletins...

he has one saying thanks to all the fans for the prayers and signs it CP. If its not CP its a fan that sure as hell speaks convincingly..

I'll copy and past the bulletins

Re: Clinton Portis running Taylor's Myspace?
 

I never check my bulletins, and this is the official myspace of ST... Unless someone got ahold of it and is stirring shit... but it sounds like it may be ligit. Anyone have any more insight?

-CP AND THE TEAM

Re: Clinton Portis running Taylor's Myspace?
 

The guy doing the Sean Taylor page is Matthew Daniel. He's legit. He did the page before Sean died, and of course, has turned it into a memorial since.

Did "CP" send those messages from the Taylor account?

Re: Clinton Portis running Taylor's Myspace?
 

How can you tell if it's an official player page? There are so many fake ones out there.

Re: Clinton Portis running Taylor's Myspace?
 

yes

here's the last one taylor sent

-Sean Taylor

Re: Clinton Portis running Taylor's Myspace?
 

well moss's real one is the only one where he's actively pushing his brother's music... no one else cares... then you get into a ring of player's actual pages, and they have pictures that no one else is going to have....


apparently the guy running it has built a few other athlete's and celebrity's sites

Re: Clinton Portis running Taylor's Myspace?
 

I'm "friends" with Portis on myspace too. I think it may actually be Portis and not a fake. Reason being, MySpace is very good about deleting accounts by impersonaters. One of my close friend's had an awful breakup with his girlfriend a while back, and she started a page claiming to be him, saying all kinds of awful things and posting some pretty bad pictures as well. He reported it to MySpace and the page was deleted swiftly. I also know that a lot of younger players do have pages and monitor them regualrly. Jarvis Moss (former Florida Gator, Broncos 1st rd pick this year) is a buddy of mine, and he has a page and loves it. He hasn't had a ton of time for it since being drafted, but I do know a lot of players are into the MySpace fad. I hope Clinton does wear #21 on Sunday.

Plus how lame and depraved would it be for someone to start a page claiming to be Portis and then make comments about Sean Taylor's death?
My guess is that it is in fact CP running that page.

Re: Clinton Portis running Taylor's Myspace?
 

idk, sounds odd

I've come across player pages before that are set to private, do you think that's a good clue that it might be the actual player?

Re: Clinton Portis running Taylor's Myspace?
 

Go CP! I'll be cheering hard on Sunday.

Re: Clinton Portis running Taylor's Myspace?
 

[QUOTE=Mattyk72;385785]How can you tell if it's an official player page? There are so many fake ones out there.[/QUOTE]

You can link to Sean's myspace page from his official website seantaylor36.com (I think). That's one way to find that it's legit.

Re: Clinton Portis running Taylor's Myspace?
 

try adding them as friends, you can find out... I don't see alot of private ones, but I'm not a stalker or anything... i got moss from someones page here, and then got taylors shortly after. I have an "official reskins fan" friend who has alot of the legitimate players in his top friends, and they match...

Re: Clinton Portis running Taylor's Myspace?
 

His site says this is the official site

Re: Clinton Portis running Taylor's Myspace?
 

thanks smootsmack... after that I'm pretty sure its fake...

Re: Clinton Portis running Taylor's Myspace?
 

why the hell would someone want to fuck with people like that???

anyway, dig if you can guys... apparently these messages went out to alot of people who are commenting on them all over the place... sorry if I stirred up a shitstorm for nothing.
